Description-en: Perl module to read fortune (strfile) databases
The fortune program is a small but important part of the
Unix culture, and this module aims to provide support for
its "fortune cookie" databases to Perl programmers.
.
For efficiency, all versions of fortune rely on a binary
header consisting mainly of offsets into the fortune file
proper.
.
Modern versions of fortune keep this header in a
separate file, and this is the style adopted by the
Fortune module; the older style of munging the header and
data into one large "compiled" file is not (currently)
supported.
